Team's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 11, 2024

Introducing the unstoppable Crusaders for a Cure team from Kapaun Mt. Carmel! Meet the phenomenal trio - Kylie Rapp, Bella Roberts, and Josslyn McIlvain - on a mission to conquer cancer and leave a mark on their community!

Kylie Rapp is driven by a desire to broaden her horizons. Her interest in social marketing and leadership fuels her passion to give back and raise funds for a cause she holds dear. As a CAP family leader and dedicated volleyball coach, she's already demonstrated her knack for organization and motivation. Kylie's special connection to this mission stems from her father and godfather, both of whom have been a part of this wonderful experience. Their encouragement inspired her to join the fight against cancer.

Bella Roberts is a powerhouse with aspirations in the medical field, particularly in oncology. She has witnessed the impact of cancer on her family and friends, motivating her to take action. Bella's extensive involvement in school activities underscores her commitment to leadership and service. Bella's journey is deeply personal. A childhood friend, diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, fought a courageous battle and won. Additionally, her uncle and godfather, currently in remission for blood cancer, further fuel her determination to make a difference.

Josslyn McIlvain is a beacon of compassion and dedication. She has been involved in a variety of activities that highlight her commitment to both her community and personal growth. Josslyn has volunteered over 80 hours, showcasing her willingness to go above and beyond. In addition to her impressive volunteering record, Josslyn is a seasoned member of her school's tennis team. Josslyn's motivation for the cause comes from a place of loss. She lost her grandpa to lung and liver cancer at a young age, igniting a passion within her to help others in honor  of his memory.
